ReCenter, ReNew, ReFocus, ReStart

Hello, friends!

We are officially in semester mode now! Students have begun to move back into their apartments, church was absolutely packed today, and generally, you can tell that the city is just a little more crowded.

For the past few years, ACF has started the semester, both Spring and Fall, with Re:Center. Every semester, Re:Center has a different focus. Some semesters it has been a "come one come all" that allowed students to reconnect with each other after spending a month away. Other semesters it has been just for students who are leading in some capacity so we can plan for the semester to come. This semester, it was a hybrid of sort. Our core students from last semester came together to recapture the vision of ACF and spend time praying about their role in the chapter this year.

I'm super excited about this semester for ACF. I'm not sure if it's my optimism or what but I think it's going to be spectaular. Of course, I have no idea what is going to happen in terms of numbers, conversions, or anything like that. All I know is that God is good and that he is going to show us his goodness this semester. I can't wait!

Here's a photo of our ACF team to start the semester. We're missing 2 students in the photo but I think we're a pretty good looking bunch. Here are a few ways to be praying for our team as we get ready to go:

- Growing our family. Why can't this photo be twice as full at the end of the semester. Please pray that God will bring more students into our midst who love Jesus and want to see his love shared with every Asian and Asian American on campus.
- Working as a family. We have 3 staff and 8 students, all with different gifts and flat sides. Please pray that our team will be blessed with a spirit of cooperation.

Have an excellent day!
